Cooler Air To Be Short Lived As Azores High Rebuilds Into UK Fast Next Week
‘TODAY’S FACEBOOK FORECAST’
Azores High Set To Return, May Bring Warmest February Temp On Record To UK By Tuesday/Wednesday
While temps have cooled this weekend following the balmy readings of late last week as the ridge gets squashed, it appears the models haven’t let go of the warm theme for the UK just yet. Over the last couple of days they have persistently shown the return of the ridge back up into the UK by Tuesday and I am wondering whether ‘heights’ or thickness values may be slightly stronger than what we saw last week. What does this mean? Well, it could suggest that if this were to be true, the overall warmth of this bubble of circulating air may be greater.
An important thing to look at is the position of the high pressure centre as this can be important in determining the direction in which the wind blows over the UK. Incidentally, the centre shows to be positioned just south, east of London and this, given the size of the high brings winds widely across England out of the southwest, similar to last Thursday when the high topped 18C in several areas.
So, given adequate sunshine as well as possible downsloping off hills and of course the ongoing drier than normal soils, this points to yet another day or two of late April/early May conditions. Right now, I am shooting for a widespread 14-17C across England with a potential pocket of 17-20C. A reading of 20C by the end of Wednesday which I believe would be the best day of seeing such a temp reading would make for the warmest February day in UK history, besting the 19.7C high set at Greenwich in 1988.
